of Surprises & celebrations...

"y not surprise ellen with a goodbye party before she leaves?-a pot luck maybe?", i told my mum.

so therefore, yesterday, hasty last minute calls were made to relatives..auntie hazel would make mee siam and say karen ordered it..Auntie jeanne would come later with her delicious nasi lemak..

poor ellen, she slept at 2am last night, thinking she'd get sleep the next day, not knowing it'd be a long day of entertaining..

so today, woke up with extreme cramping due to the visiting of "auntie dot". slept off for awhile then woke up to go buy cake at secret recipe for ellen & karen. since i bought it, i had the honor to choose the flavor-my fave of course, choc indulgence..

came back to a full house..- Auntie Hazel's fly, Uncle Hedley's fly, Karen's fly..had nasi lemak with rendang and prawn sambal..yum-my! =)

after which cut cake..both Ellen and Karen were surprised as they thought the cake was for the other..in the picture, from left to right, is Karen, Ellen & Bryan.

the cake read "Happy Birthday Karen & Bon Voyage Ellen"

 

i played Junior Monopoly with the kids. In the picture, is Me & Kimberly..i look sucky, yes- i know. =P

then ere i am- blogging. =)

Love, Mandy.
